_________________________________________________________Notes This Week:
What’s happening today at the Irish Roots Cafe

1) Working on launching our Hedge School here. It does
take a lot of time to put these things together. We will start
with one or two fields of study. It will be available in up to
3 ways. First, as free podcasts on iTunes and here at
irishroots.com. Second, in audio format, either downloadable
or on CD as .mp3 files. Third, some fields of study will
have a hedge teacher available as a ‘private’ consultant, don’t
you know now…. so, this will be interesting!

2) We now have our first audio book up and running. It is
‘ Missouri Irish, Kansas City, St. Louis, the Irish Wilderness…’
Molly is the narrator. So if you need some entertainment
while driving down the road or falling off to sleep, here is a
new opportunity for you !

3) We are doing our international launch of the Hedge School
on Saturday, February 13, on up in Kansas City. The Irish
Museum there volunteered the space so there we go. Hotel
rooms should be reasonable if you book soon. We will have
workshops sessions in several areas, including:

Workshops themselves run from 1:00 to 3:00.
This includes a general opening session with all the
Hedge Teachers.

Schools were outlawed for the Irish with the coming
of the penal laws in Ireland.
Outlaw schoolteachers then taught outdoors, by the
sunny side of the hedge, in nooks and crannies, by the
side of the road, when ever and where ever possible.
Students would carry turf to school for fueling the
fire on a chilly day. They ‘carried the sod’ so to speak.

Time to raise our eyes skywards, give thanks, and ask for help !Here are todays “Magnificent Seven” :

1) Welcome Gail Dolly of McAlpin, Florida as a new member !
The Dolly family in Galway and the Barron family of Belfast

2) Elizabeth Robillard of Bellaire, Texas, your Book of Irish Families
great and small has shipped !

3) Sandra Tremulis of Redwood City, CA, your Book of Irish Families
and Kings and Queens County Ireland genealogy book has shipped.

4) Welcome Denise Tanner of Louisville, KY, as a new member !
I am looking for a Shaughnessy family that lived in Glenduff and Ashford
areas of County Limerick. Specifically I am looking for a Patrick (Henry?) Shaughnessy (abt 1811-abt 1848) of Glenduff, his wife’s name. I believe
his father was George O’ Shaughnessy of Ashford (1780-1785). Patrick’s
wife and children immigrated to America in 1851, settled for awhile in
Janesville, WI, then moved on to Iowa and Kansas. Patrick Henry
Shaughnessy (1834 Glenduff) is my great Grandfather. His mother
died when they reached America, so he helped raise his siblings:
Mary. Schanna, Catherine. John (Jon?), Thomas, and Michael, all
born in Limerick, all immigrated to Wisconsin

5) Welcome Ruth Stewart of San Jose, CA, as a new member !
Michael & Mary Hines (Hynes) first appear in the census of Ramapo,
Suffern, NY in 1855 stating they had been there one year. He goes to
work for the Railroad. I’ve looked at all available sources without any
information on where they came from in Ireland. I’ve currently found a
daughter, Celia, married to Frederick O’Donnell indicating they were
married in Ireland so I’m trying to find out as much information as I can
about this couple and their family. Both common names adding to the
difficulty of the research. Continue to search for their home in Ireland.

History of the Name Sullivan
The O’Sullivan name is the third most numerous name in
all of Ireland, following only Kelly and Murphy in prominence.
The main branches of the Sullivan clan are as follows. First,
O’Sullivan Beara, of Co. Cork and known as “princes of Beara”
in earlier days. Secondly, O’Sullivan Mor, who were lords of
Dunkerron, and thirdly, O’Sullivan of Conc Raffan, chiefs of
Knockgraffen in Co. Tipperary.
